The study of temperature profiles and heat transport within the human body when subjected to electromagnetic waves is crucial for development and improvement of radiofrequency cardiac ablation treatments (radio frequency ablation). The present study provides an analytical solution for computing the temperature profiles for blood and tissue for various biological media along with heat transfer behavior during various ablation processes. The local thermal nonequilibrium model is used to characterize the bioheat transport through the biological medium. The two energy equation model for tissue and blood phase is considered. To understand the effects induced by imposed electromagnetic field, the specific absorption rate of body tissues is also studied. The results obtained have been validated against the pertinent numerical results in the literature. This study provides benchmark analytical solutions for heat transport through biological media, thereby helping in understanding the thermophysiologic response of human body toward imposed electromagnetic radiation.
